Fix Recommendation

Configure the switch to have DAI enabled on all user VLANs as shown in the example below:

SW2(config)#ip arp inspection vlan 2,4-8,11

Check Contents

Review the switch configuration to verify that the DAI feature is enabled on all user VLANs:

hostname SW2



ip arp inspection vlan 2,4-8,11

Note: DAI depends on the entries in the DHCP snooping binding database to verify IP-to-MAC address bindings in incoming ARP requests and ARP responses.

If DAI is not enabled on all user VLANs, this is a finding.
